While travelling around on local buses I noticed that the same bus stops are described quite differently from one bus route to another. So the no.40 and 12 destination is Dulwich Library but the no.176 onboard announcement states Dulwich Plough at the same bus stop. How confusing.

So Caroline Pidgeon Greater London Assembly (www.carolinepidgeon.org) member kindly offered to take this up with Transport for London (TfL).
TfL Andrew Miles (andrew.miles@tfl.gov.uk 020 3054 0153) has responded saying that it would cause confusion to have the same bus stop called the same thing across bus routes.
If you think calling the same bus stop by two different names is just plain silly let Andrew know.
